Aaron JONES ^{[1] [2]} was born in 1730/1732 in Virginia. He died in Oct 1804 in Lincoln Co., Ga.

The basis of much of the following is from: "Our Jones Family", a compilation of the descendants of Aaron Jones, by Edith Jones Breen and Francine Jones Pendergrass (Allen), privately published, 1975. Book sent by Dr. Robert Leahy of Carrolton TX in January 2000.

Aaron Jones deeded slaves to Henry Jones and Moses Jones in Culpeper Co., both of whom were stated to be his sons, Francis Wright and Vincent Glass, his sons in law, on 17 Sep 1787, in Culpeper County, VA.^[3]

Aaron married Sarah STROUD ^{[1] [2]} daughter of Samuel STROUD and Anna in 1754 in ,Culpepper,Virginia,USA. Sarah was born in 1733 in Culpepper,,Virginia,USA. She died in 1804 in , Lincoln, Georgia,USA.

In 1794 Aaron and Sarah Jones were in Abbeville, South Carolina, where they sold a legacy from Isham Stroud which was in Elbert County, Georgia. The relationship between Isham Stroud and Aaron and Sarah Jones must have been close, since the couple inherited at least a portion of the Isham Stroud estate. Fuller Jones Jr.'s suspicion is that the property was a legacy from Sarah’s family, and that Isham Stroud was her father.
